  1. I've heard that is typically caused by a vasectomy...
  2. I can't complain... Well actually I did, and so the very nice folks at Kilohearts sent me a $90 coupon to buy other Kilohearts stuff with!!! I had purchased some kHs snapins earlier in the year before they went free, and decided to let them hear about it shortly afterwards.
  3. Must be your local distribution hub. I live in a large metro area, and they have been spot on 99.9% of the time here.
  4. https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/fallout-3-game-of-the-year-edition *Windows only.
  5. I always compare Amazon prices with the manufacturer's price if they sell direct, as well as other online merchants, before I pull the trigger. That's a quick way to spot out-of-line prices. Another advantage of Amazon is their hassle -free return policy. Never had an issue in that respect with anything sold and shipped direct from Amazon. With 3rd party sellers, it's up to you to understand the return requirements. Let the buyer beware! If you shop smart you can do all right.
  6. I've rarely seen anything I'm interested in on "Prime Day" deals. But since I do most of my shopping at *Amazon, the free Prime 2-day (occasionally same day) delivery pays for itself and saves me gas money. Plus I shop there with the Prime branded Visa card that gives me 5% back on all Amazon purchases. *Other than groceries and household staples that I pick up at the local supermarket or Walmart.
  7. Oh well, I thought the part sounded a bit livelier with just the DI and no effects. The rest is probably limited to the quality of the samples themselves...
  8. Retromod sux. Syntronik FTW in sampled synths! If you are a fan of Wolfram get Biotek 2 or F.'em...
  9. Did you try switching from Program to Part, and then only loading the "Keys 1972 Wurli Piano 88 DI main" or the "Mix Main" into a single part slot? That doesn't sound very dull to me... just my two cents...
  10. I'm OK with the UI, and some of the sounds are interesting. But I prefer the Soundpaint UI as far as being able to mix any samples in the collection with any other samples, including my own. I own the Atma, Frcture, and Ultrasonic Death Whistle libraries from Mntra. The MNDALA UI only allows you to select samples from within the current selected library. They need to improve on that.
  11. There was an update for Huracan available, as well as the new Rasa for v2.0. Ran into a couple of presets in Rasa with only silence (missing samples?). Huracan caused Studio One 5.5.2 to stop responding while switching presets. Had to end it with task manager. 😢 YMMV.
  12. It's intended for found sound cinematics. If that's what you are looking for with the factory sample library, then great! Ambient and trailer deluxe! But since you can drag and drop your own samples into the sample windows, the options are virtually limited to your imagination.
  13. Buy your beans and grind 'em the old fashioned way. Cartridges are for sissies!!! 😉
  14. IKM seems to lag behind other developers in quality control and proper beta testing before release. It's almost as if pre-release buyers of any new product are signing up for extended beta testing. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy their products (and I have most of them), but the affordability often comes at the expense of stability!
  15. The only sales that he does are intro deals. But his regular prices are so low they are like half price for a typical Kontakt Player or Ample Sound library. He does this by requiring full Kontakt, rather than passing on the cost of NI Player licensing to the customer.
  16. Yup! 😎 And if I am feeling really ambitious I will use a French Press, rather than Mr Coffee!
  17. Agreed. The UVI format puts me off for some reason, hard to explain just a preference. Really enjoyed Simeon's demo of the Skybox version, although the 145B tone is a bit different from the classic Wurli.
  18. The answer for me is that the full Kontakt opened up the excellent inexpensive Indiginus libraries which require full Kontakt, as well as numerous free Kontakt libraries that don't work in Player. Plus I got a sweet upgrade to Komplete 13 the following year!
  19. That's the thing with Indiginus. The GUI is very well thought out. I have the the Renegade Acoustic and the Mandolin on my wishlist! Have already installed the Banjo, Steel, and Fiddle!
